Gardener

These lawn care enemies aren't simple pushovers. Likely the first enemy you will encounter in the Royal Woods, the Gardener enemies come in two types. Both will rush towards the player and engage them in melee combat.

The Gardeners are fairly light characters. They attack at a close range and do moderate damage. Each attack can be easily blocked, allowing the player to counter and hit the enemy. Be wary of large groups of these enemies. They agro from a long distance, and groups of them can quickly swarm the player if they don't move cautiously. They also tend to hang out around Stone Guardians. Agroing one of them along with some Gardeners can mean big trouble for the player.
